    Default Issues with a near wedge. Please advise.

    I'v not developed enough experience to really ID the degree of wedge I'm working with here. But the point is, I knew I was in for a significant amount of time at the stones before I got what I wanted. So the issue is, I've spent about 2-4 hours on the 220 Norton and it seems to very, very slowly be coming around to an bevel. Problem is, the bevel that's coming around. One one side of the blade, I've got a bevel appearing in the middle of the blade edge, while on the other side of the blade, it's appearing only at the toe and heel. I started by using both hands, and applying zero pressure..or at least as close to zero as a newbie could muster. After a couple hours, (two separate sessions), I've moved to just one hand. I've varied the strokes alot. Maybe too much. But I've tried x-strokes, while turning the stone every 50 or so. I've tried straight up and backs. I've tried re-lapping the Norton. Is it me? or is it the blade? What do you think? My personal guess is that the blade is ever so slightly bent...but I don't know anything.
